Weekend writing challenge on “gratitude” with Sammi Cox
For undulations of the hills
for desert, daisies, daffodils
for love’s sweet longing family fills
God give us grateful hearts.
For grass to grow, mow everywhere
for pizza, pickles, peach and pear
for every breath we breathe of air
God give us grateful hearts.
For hiking, biking mountain steep
for swimming, surfing oceans deep
for every day our lives you keep
God give us grateful hearts.
For puppies, kittens, goldfish, frogs
for horses, cows, and baconed hogs
for reading books and writing blogs
God give us grateful hearts.

“Time Travel: Ancient Japanese Poetry” with Chèvre at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai
Even a breeze may fail me
When I desire it.
Little I should grieve,
If only, sure of its coming,
I could await even a breeze.
waka by Princess Kagami (7th century)
extreme summer
wrung out from humidity
even breeze feels hot
